House of Representatives, announcing the death of a member of that body from Missouri. This was followed by a brief tribute to the deceased from Mr. Gcjer, of Musori, when according to usage and out of respect t „ the memory of the deceased, on luuionof Mr. Geyer, the Senate adjourned, lustea'l of leaving the Chamber with the f est on the adjournment, I remained in ray seat, occupied with my peu. While thus y:ent, in urdei to be in season for the mail ivhi.h was soon to close, 1 was approached by several persons who desired to conver9 e with uie, but 1 answered them promptly aud brietßv, excusing myself for the reason that IW3S much engaged. When the last of ibese persons left me, I drew my atm chair viose to my desk, and with my legs undc r tne desk, continued writing. My attention „t this time was so entirely drawn from all other objects that, although there must have ken many persons in the .Senate, 1 saw pobody. While thus intent, with my head lent over my writing, 1 was addressed by a pt-rsoa who approached the front of my desk, to entirely unobserved, that I was not aware of lis presence till my name was pronounc ed. As I looked up, with my pen iu hand ? 1 saw a tali man, with whose countenance I was not familiar, standing directly over me, aa.l at tne same time I caught these words : —have read your speech twice over, carefully ; it is a libel on South Carolina, aud .Mr. Butler, w'uo is a relative of mine.'' While these words were still passing from his tips, he commenced a succession of blows with a heavy cane on my bare head, by the lirst of v.hich I was so stunned as to lose my sight. "i no longer saw my assailant, nor any other person or object in the room. What I did afterwards was done almost uncon" seieusiy, a -ting under the instincts of self defence, with my head already bent down. 1 rose from my seat, wrenching up my desk which was screwed to the floor, and then pressing forward, while my assailant con tinued his blows. 1 have no other con sciousness until 1 found myself ten feet for ward in front of my desk, on the Senate tioor, with my bleeding head supported on the knee of a gentleman, whom I soon re cognized, by voice and manner, as Mr. Mor gan of N. York. Otiier persons there were about tne, offering me friendly assistance but I did not recognize any of them. Oth ers there were at a dislauce, looking on and offering no assistance, of whom I recognized oulv Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, Mr. Tootnbs, of Georgia, and I thought also my assailant, standing betweeu them. I was helped from the floor, and conducted into the lobby Of of the Senate, where I wa3 placed upon a sofa. Of those who beipei me here I have no recollection. As 1 entered the lobby I recognized Mr. Slideil, of Louisiana, who retreated, but I recognized no oue else until I felt a friendly grasp of the hand, which scorned to come from Mr. Campbell, of Ohio. "I have a vague impression that Mr. Bright, the President of the Senate, spoke to me, while I was on the floor of the lo!>- l>v. I make this statement in answer to the interrogotary of the Committee, and offer it as presenting completely all my recollections of the assault aud of the attending circum stances whether immediately before or im* mediately after. I desire to add that be sides the words which 1 have given as utter ed hy my assailant, I have an indistinct re collection of the words "old man," but these were so enveloped in tbe mist whicb ensued from the first blow, that 1 am not sure whother they were uttered or not.'? On Cross-examination, Mr. Sumner stat eJ, that be was entirely without arms of any kind and that be hid no notice or warning <>f any kind, direct or indirect of this assault* • n mswer to another question, Mr. Sumner itplwd, that what he had said of Mr. Butler was strictly responsive to Mr. Butier* speech, according U> the usages of Psrlutuen ury debate.

Mr. Bu chanan denies that he ever so intimated. He merely observed to Lord Palmerston that he would have mnch satisfaction in transmitting that note to the Secretary of state, Lord Palmerston replying through Lord Clirto. don that tie fails to be couvinced, and say ing that it seemed to him that there was no essential difference between the substance and the effect of what was said in the Rouse of Commons and Mr. Buchanan's state menu Fiually, Mr. 8., under date of March 7th, says to Mr. Marcy, '-You must believe with rue that the last effort of Lord Pal mestou, to extricate himself from the dilem ma, has served to make the awkwardness of his position still more conspicuous." PREDICTION BECOME REALITY. We have seen events hurry hard upon the heels of the words which foretold them but never so speedily lias realization in part | followed prediction whilo the remainder which yet lies unfulfilled, is hurrying on ward. onward like the resistless billows of the ocean, to make up the full measures of the orator's words in corresponding results, as in the case before us. Here is what Mr. Sumner said of Douglas' talk about "treason." It will not be the first time in history that a scaffold erected for punishment has become a pedestal of honor. Oat of death comes life, and the "traitor" whom be blind ly executes will live immortal in the cause. For Humanity sweeps onward, where to-day the raaityr stands. On the morrow crouches Judas, with the sil ver in his hands; White the hooting mob of yesterday in silent awe return. To glean up the scattered ashes into History's golden uru. Charles Sumner to-day stands upon a pe destal of honor which even his own mighty intellect could not have led him to, in years- Every drop of blood spilt from his veins shall bring a legion of trusty mon nerved for the battle of freedom. Out of the gloomy cell of Galileo went forth a light to preuieate the distant realms of space and illustrate the mysteries of the Universe of God. The blood of martyred Sidney was not shed in vain ; it fell npon soil rich in its later harvests of freedom, and as "hu manity sweeps onward" in its course it came at lust to reach the spot where the martyred Sidney had stood before and recognized him as its precursor. Whore in history have not the great and good been persecuted?— For five long years has Mr. Sumner kept his seat in that chamber amid contumely and insult, with little sympathy with his extreme views fiom any; with very little from u, certainly, lie has not been abseut from his seat during a siugle day, until fho attempt upon his lifo by a ruffian last week, llis burning eloquence, his dialectic skill, the play of his logic and the brilliancy of hi B rhetoric, combiued, huve all served to elevate him high up among the ranks of statesmen and of orators, but the sea! of blood by which he has testified h : 3 devotion to his principles has at once placed hiui in the very front; brought him before the eyes of the nation, set the hearts of a whole free people on fire with indignation, unsealed the lips of the "conserva'ive," set the thoughtles s athiuking, put a weapon into the hands of religion which the most careful priests can use without compromising "the church,' and clothed the words of such as speak the whole truth from the pulpit with a power as of fire. It is by such means that "Humani ty sweeps unward" to its mail;. Thank God ! wc have, we must have nearly touch ed the last boundary of our disgrace as a people. While we write there come to us from the distant West awful tiding* of a "town destroyed by ruffian*;" of hellish legions, frantic with rum and every eveil passion, urged forward to scenes of blood and lire, by the power that sits, like Milton's image of iiin at the gates of hell, behind the Executive chair. We prey it be not so, but we wait for further tidings with a heart that trembles for the paDgs of history we are this day engraving as with a pen of iron! As if in solemn mockery of our ruin and disgrace, even in our midst sit those who are planning now schemes of plunder; those who find congenial organs to suppress facts on the one band distort the truth on the other; lo defend outrage, fraud violence and deeds of blood, while they calmly talk of I'Domocraev and triumph."

JosFrtr, May 22, 1856.—Last night one of the most diabolical and terrible niur } ders occured within four miles of this city, : that ever shocked a community oroutragej | humanity. Mr. Jacob Friend; with his wife and five children, resided in a neat cabin, embower ed by ancient forests, upou the border of the beautiful lake which lies just below our town, and cultivated in a quiet but profita ble way, a piece of laud which ho had late ly reclaimed from the wilderness. The bauks of the lake are dotted with tbe>.e simple habitations and neighbors were all around him: hut his house was not visi ble to any in consequence of tbe thickness of tbe intervening foliage. The hallo of a man or the barbing of a dog, could, Lowev er, be distinctly beard. • Young Barada wao there last evening, and left them all in the enjoyment of health and happiness. This morniug, a young la. dy was passing, and found the he use and its inhabitants in asbes. Tbe news spread like wild fire, aud In a few hours many front our city and neighbor hood were on the spot. The question with every one was, how so many persons could have been burned in one room. The cabin contained butonerconi, about .sixteen feet square, with two doors, a win dow and a fire place. The wiudow and the fireplace were in the opposite ends. On cither side of the window, with their feet towards (he doors, had stood the beds in which the family slept. From whore the beds stood, egress was easy and conven ient through the window and the doors. It was hardly possible then, that 7 per sons—a man of 45, a woman of 40, a young man of 15, a girl of 10, and 5 small chil dren could have been burnt from fire origi nating in the firo place. There were too many ways of escape. Nor for the same reason could they have boon bn-ncd to death, if the fire had been communicated to any part of the building. The then, before any examination, was that murder, most foul and unnatural, had Leon busy with his bloody knife before the fire was ignited. Thi* conclusion was confirmed by silent evidences which lay around. There, in the corner, near the fire-place, was a skeleton, and there, just in front of the fire-place, was another; and where the beds had stood, were all the others- -a large one with the smallest clasped to its ar'"s, and the rest clustered near. These were evidently the mother and children; those near the fire place, the father and the son. Bv one of the latter was a large knife ; and by tbe other, a three-pronged pich fork with points extremely sharpened, and the barrel of a gun ; and in front of the house a revolver was found. The jury of inquest are now sitting. They have arrived at no further conclusion, as yet, than that it was a horrible murder. They will take measures—indeed arc do ing so already, by examination of witnesses and the weapons found—to trace the murderers God grant that they may be found and brought to justice. This is the prayer of every good man in our country. Stnator Wilson ant! Sir. !'rooks. We give below, in full, the correspon dence between the Hon. Henry Wilson and the Hon. P. S.

This Fame Archbishop Hughes, there is every reason to believe, has actively enlist ed for the Presidential election, in order to break the "spiudie chord of the American party" (the very expression he makes use of,) the Irish Roman Catholic vote is to be fused with the Black Republicans—the Black Republicans stipulating for special legis lation forßowe, if they get into power. Is that" nothing?

CRAMPTOK'S DISMISSAL. —By the attention ofour Wash ington correspondent, we were enabled yes terday afternoon to issue a slip containing the intelligence, received by telegraph, of Mr. Cramp ton and Consuls Barclay, Mathcw aud Rowecroft's dismissal by tho United States Government Our correspondent adds that Mr. MarcyV letter in reply to Lord Clurjudou's last despatch, is "concil iatory, but firm." The New York papers, in contemplation of the dismissal which has taken place, appear, pretty generally, to believe the BvitisbGovernrocnt will "pocket the affrout" and send successors to their dismissed officials. AVe are of a different opinion, and have no doubt Mr. Dallas will be served with a "notice to quit" within an hour of the receipt of Mr. Matey'* des patch, however "conciliatory" may be its terms. The pretence, that Mr. Cranipton is not dismissed because of the enlistment imbroglio, but from his being personally distasteful to the President, is, in our view, untenable, and ought not to be accepted. Mr. Cranipton was notoriously. personally acceptable to the President previous to the enlistment affair ; and it is clearly his al leged conduct ic that affair to which his dismissal must be attributed. Besides, are Messrs. Barclay, Matbew and Kowcroft all personally unacceptable to tho President ? —■Montreal ILrald, May 21i.
